Airports 4 Pilots Pro - Global App Reviews

Faulty subscription handling

This app, although “automatically” re-subscribed never has my current subscription. It is always asking me to purchase a new subscription, even when it renewed a week ago, according to App Store records. Either give me my new database, or give me my money back. This is a recurring problem that has happened 2 times in last year, and developer site does not advertise a support location to address it directly with them.

CAVEAT EMPTOR! (that means BUYER BEWARE in pilot-speak)

I can't believe I didn't read the reviews more closely and I just wasted $7 of my hard-earned first-year probation pay on this piece of crap app. It is NOT a world edition if you charge me more just to get basic functionality in places like Japan (where my company flies often). DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. You'd be better off buying a Jeppesen subscription.

Search with pin drop

This is a good app. It does have search from current location, but it would be nice if you could search from pin drop.

Ok. But they want more $$$

Paid for this but the database expires often and they want money to keep it up....fine, but if you don't really have to have a super current database it will constantly remind you for EVERY page you look at! Just annoying!!

Rip Off

Requires frequent and expensive updates. Program is of limited value inflight; it needs a Internet connection of some type to utilize all it's functions. Don't waste your money.

Rip off

Indicates "world edition" but for the 6.99 only get US?? Not worth the purchase. Misleading description. Would like my money back!

Misleading

This App has misleading advertising. It is worthless, unless u buy the expensive monthly updates by region! Don't buy it!

Good Info

OK but nothing special

Great part of my "tool box"

Every pilot should have this app

a bit disappointing

Just downloaded this app and have already found several mistakes. For the amount of money not that much useful info.

Flight Simmer

Great app! I use it for flight simulation.

Ok

For the price you need to add airport diagram large view and if possible taxi diagram. Aopa is free and has a lot more info and detail.

Great Product

I use this app a lot, but I wish I didn't have to buy info for each area of the world.

The app is good...........

.....If you like to look up info on airports near you only. It works great for your local (the country you live in) airports, but I like to browse other airports on other countries. I refuse to pay $4.99 for a single other region (or $99.99 for the entire world). Not to mention you have to pay $.99 every couple of months when the system updates, therefore, I never update it either. So if your looking to browse airports near you with this app, don't update it, and if your looking to explore the rest of the worlds airports, your better off just looking it up on the web. Save your money.

Airline pilot(retired)

Always my "go to" ap. Tons of information, well thought out. More info than I could have expected. User friendly excellent product

Okay+ --but could be better

As a private pilot, I really like this app and find it quite useful, not least 'cos the price isn't really that high. But, it could be more useful if: 1. It would allow me to search on the first display page not only by airport identifier but also by airport name, or even better by airports near (choose your own radius in miles) a major or minor city. 2. It's cute to include all the foreign countries but I suspect few of us will be flying to Albania Latvia or wherever. It all tales up memory. Please let us select which if any countries we want to be able to 'browse."

Great App...keep the updates coming!

Good App! Runs well! Excellent visuals! Will be even better when they follow through with plans to add more info like ATC freqs, FBO info & ability to search by city name. A little pricey for additional databases, but you'd still pay more for a world wide ACK-U-KWIK & without the visual aid of Google Earth maps or $.99 database updates!

OK but

AWOS info missing. AOPA Airports much better.

Mr

Exelente app

Excellent

Great app, like others though, having a few issues with the app closing out when I select the frequency tab. Otherwise useful tool.

Owner

100% perfect & good 4me

Excellent tool

You Mac and dedicated IPAD users will probably roast me for saying this, but my iPad is a tool only for me. Just like this app. Very functional and easy to use. Am looking forward to more utility, but for now, well done.

Excellent application

This is a great tool for aviators. The approach plates are very handy, and of course the weather is just what you need.

LKelley

Just downloaded it. Went to my airport FBO, no AWOS frequency, checked others I knowv and same story. Also stated high landing fee for McClellan MCC, totally incorrect. Lowest fuel prices and no fee for landing light aircraft. Raises question of other information. Otherwise easy to use and provides useful information.

Do not waste your money!!!!

I purchased the App together with the South African database a month ago for a whopping $11.98. The database was incomplete and I sent information to the developer to assist in getting the database up to date. Just downloaded the latest update for a further $0.99 and the database is as incomplete as it was when I bought it a month ago. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this app. These guys do not use the info sent to them to update the app - they take your money and do not deliver.

Good

Great If they keep it updated!

I see the point of the previous review but...

This app like many others is under continual development. I bought it and downloaded many of the nation states in order to better understand what the developer has in mind. The concept is good and for me has the potential to be really quite useful. I think we need to see where Awele and his team can take this app ;-) For me it isn't where the information comes from, it is how it is arranged and presented for the user. Dictionary - Novel? Norman C777 - Long Haul

Invaluable, and very nicely done

Tremendous app: very useful and helpful, with lots of important information at the touch of a finger. It's a wonderful and welcome supplement to my other piloting apps; it's great to have those details available off-line. It's very reasonably priced, as are the database updates. I'm looking forward to the iPad version.

Great!

This app is great. But some airports don't have updated maps!!!!!!

Nice

This app performs as advertised. Pretty handy, no regrets.

Great app

Great app for quick reference. Very usefull.

Love it

I like to use it to plan way trips when I have nothing else to do. Worth all 99 cents

Nice

I am a student. This is a vary nice app.

Nice app for $0.99!

Lots of info an nice map integration. Good to have offline at some remote airport or location. Not sure if anyone would actually think of taking out their iPhone when their engine quits like the description says but useful nonetheless in other situations. AOPA should use the instead of that crappy interface by Foreflight used in their free app.

Nifty

Pretty cool....recommended.

Great app

Practical information, easily available. Please provide tower, ground frequencies in future upgrades

Great Application!

Worth the money, not just for flying but i call on airports for work too. FBO contact information would make it hands down the best aviation app out there.

Great

Great app! The only suggestion I would make is to add an airport diagram, in addition to the other map views. But great app

Lacks tower, ground, & C&D freqs

My hope was that with the latest update they had update the airport frequencies. I guess that I wished for too much. Some airports have frequencies and most only list the UNICOM freq. It does so for LAX, BUR, ATL, JFK, and many more. USELESS! It needs tower, ground, & clearance & delivery freqs.

Nice App....but

Is there any way you could add FBO's with contact information for each airport? If you could provide this data, this app would be a 5+ star!!

5 Star

Awesome a must have and cheap

Very cool App

The userface is good. Well laid out, with lots of options. Great refrence tool!

Impressive!

Well done. Especially like the satellite view of the runway and surrounding area. The amount of data and information is impressive and all for .99. Thank you!

Great App!!!!!

What an extremely imformative app, and for only $0.99. The developer did their homework on this one, put so much information in, that you can almost do your flight planning from this app. I have to say it is now one of my favorite avaition apps. I really believe all pilots should invest in this app, you won't go wrong.

now available (re: option needed)

There is now an option "all land runways", which is what I need in an SOS context. Cancel my previous gripe; but I wish one could set it up as the default. The previous version was happy to start up with out-of-date GPS data; I have not yet checked whether the new version does.

Great customer service

I just downloaded app at 0400hrs and discovered the facilities data has expired on Oct 22. I E-mailed support and within minutes got an answer. Apparently, update held up at app central. Otherwise, great tool!

Excellent app for pilots

All the information you need for airports in a simple but extremely informative format especially when you need it the most. Only downside is my database airport info has expired and can't find a way to update it
